Text	Christ is arisen From the grave's dark prison! So let us all be joyful; He is our Savior faithful. Alleluia! Had he not arisen We had been still in prison. But now He's vanquished Hell and Death, We laud Him with our loudest breath! Alleluia! Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia! Come let us all be joyful; Christ is our Savior faithful. Alleluia!
